Web Series Review: Charlie Chopra & the Mystery of Solang Valley streaming on Sony Liv
A true underated gem from the master of adaptations , Vishal Bharadwaj!! An official adaptation of Agatha Christie's " The Sittaford Mystery", this Web Series is about the birth of an unlikely detective - The chirpy and quirky Punjaban, Charlie Chopra ( Wamiqa Gabbi).
When her quiet and timid fiance ( Vivan Shah) is implicated in the murder of his uncle, Brigadier Meherban Singh Rawat ( Gulshan Grover) during a family reunion at his home in Solang Valley, Charlie has to put all her wits to test in order to get the love of her life acquitted before he is sentenced to death!! With the police not cooperating, the list of suspects too long & the body count rising, Charlie finds herself pitted against a cunning murderer where no one including herself is safe !!
Casting is Mashallah!! Amazing ensemble cast chaar Chand laga dete Hain iss webseries ko !! Veteran actors like Ratna Pathak Shah, Naseeruddin Shah ,Imaaduddin Shah & Heeba Shah (Oh teri😱...Poore Shah family ko hi sign kar liya 🙂) , Neena Gupta, Paoli Dam and Chandan Roy Sanyal among others really light up the screen like never before !!
The direction has a distinct Vishal Bharadwaj stamp on it .... Very unconventional, seems a bit slow and laidback at times too. But make no mistake dear friends, this one is not to be trifled with as it bounces back just when needed to provide the right kind of dhamaka at the climax !! Cinematography too is brilliant and the snow clad locales in Himachal Pradesh look very beautiful and alluring indeed!! Vocals by Rekha Bharadwaj and Sunidhi Chauhan also add color to the narrative and the opening credits!!
Highly recommended & bingewatch- worthy. 6 episodes with an avg runtime of around 35 mins, this one can be watched in a day!!
Would love more seasons of Charlie Chopra from the ace director!!
Dekh daalo jaldi .. it is a clean old fashioned murder mystery and can be watched by young and old alike!!
Going with 4/5 for this brilliant adaptation.. Adios 🙂!!
